How to get free PlayStation Stars points without PlayStation Plus or making a purchase

by

This Seeking Tech guide will explain how you can get free PlayStation Star points without being subscribed to PlayStation Plus or purchasing anything from the PlayStation Store.

Use the following video as a visual aide:

For the first step, make sure you start the campaign for PlayStation Tournaments. These will occasionally pop up from time to time, even if you already completed the same one previously.

Next, you need to download Naraka Bladepoint from the PlayStation Store. Since it is a free-to-play online title, you do not need to subscribe to PS Plus.

After downloading it, navigate over to the Naraka icon on the home screen, and then press down until you see the Upcoming Tournaments section.

You should then register for a tournament.

Once you are registered, you need to wait until the tournament ends. You do not have to boot up Naraka or play in the actual tournament to qualify.

When the campaign is completed, the points should appear in your account.

How to turn on boost mode and game boost on PS5 Pro

by

Unlike the PlayStation 4 Pro, the PlayStation 5 Pro automatically enables boost mode, also known as game boost. This will allow you to play some PS5 games at a higher resolution and/or better frame rate.

However, you may still need to make some adjustments on games with multiple graphics mode.

In Final Fantasy XVI, for example, the Graphics Mode has a 30 fps cap. While the resolution is boosted, you won’t be able to play beyond the 30 fps limited.

If you change FF15 to Performance Mode, then you will get a resolution and frame rate boost on the PlayStation 5 Pro.

In the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 Remakes, the Boost Mode/Game Boost feature of the PS5 Pro will let you run the games at 60 fps at the Resolution graphics mode with Ray-Tracing enabled.

If you have a 120 Hz television with Variable Refresh Rate, then you can also unlock the 60 fps cap in Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. This will let you play at higher frame rates, when compared to the standard PS5, on the PS5 Pro thanks to Boost Mode/Game Boost.

To summarize, Boost Mode/Game Boost is automatically enabled on the PlayStation 5 Pro. Games with dynamic resolution and variable frame rate should benefit, although you may need to change some in-game settings.

How to unlock the “To the Rescue: Metal Slug 6” trophy

by

This Seeking Tech guide will show you how to get the “To the Rescue: Metal Slug 6” trophy in the PS4 version of Metal Slug Anthology.

This will unlock when you “rescue at least 10 prisoners in one Metal Slug 6 mission.”

The easiest mission to do this is in the first one. Play cautiously so that you don’t get killed. If you do get killed, then you will lose all of your rescued prisoners.

You will be able to rescue up to 15 prisoners on the first mission although you only need 10 to unlock this trophy. You should find them easily on the main path as long as you don’t die.

When you encounter the boss, stay on the left edge of the screen to avoid most of his attacks. You should then only worry about the rock throws.
